\nRun to one of these amazing races<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n
\ninto running because I love to eat, but I don't love to count calories,
\nespecially when I travel. Now, every tasty indulgence can instead be measured
\nby the miles I run. For instance, I know that the calories in one glass of wine are equal to
\nrunning one mile, so more miles equals more wine. Running, jogging and walking are also
\nwonderful ways to explore a city. \n<\/p>\n
\nWhen I first started, a single mile was a challenge and felt like a huge
\naccomplishment. Then I signed up for a 5K and experienced the
\nenthusiasm and support of other runners and became hooked. \n<\/p>\n
\nran my first marathon, The ING NYC Marathon. Though I had been to New
\nYork City several times before, running 26.2 miles through all 5
\nboroughs, the excitement of onlookers cheering us on, and the thrill of
\ncrossing the finish line in Central Park made it one of the most
\nmemorable trips of my life. I just signed up for my next race and plan
\non doing one a year as long as my legs will take me.\n<\/p>\n
\na great excuse to travel, here are 5 races worth packing your suitcase
\nfor. They're all half marathons, so you still have plenty of energy for
\nthe rest of your trip.\n<\/p>\n
\nrace to start with if you're new to running. Music keeps you motivated
\nthe way as every other mile has a live band for your entertainment.
\nYou'll also run down Music Row where all the major record labels call
\nhome and many American dreams of becoming a star have come to life. The
\nlocals are really supportive, and as you run through downtown
\nneighborhoods you'll often find residents handing out treats such as
\nchocolate and mimosas. If you're afraid of being too slow to sign up
\nfor a race, then this is a great event to start with as there is a group
\nthat walks while hula hooping the entire way. They're called Hoops
\nFor Hope and they raise money for charity.\n<\/p>\n
\nHow often can you say you ran around an entire island? The race starts
\nin downtown, goes past Mile Marker 0 and the Southern Most Point, then
\nstays along the perimeter of the island giving participants a
\nbreathtaking view of Florida's azure waters the rest of the way. At the
\nend, finisher's receive a medal and a beer. You can also sip water
\nstraight out of a coconut, rehydrate and get ready to celebrate by doing
\nthe Duval Crawl.\n<\/p>\n
\ncredit to Las Vegas. Basically, you run the strip … at night. It
\nstarts at twilight and wraps up around 9:30pm, so you still have plenty
\nof time to party the night away in sin city with a little extra runner's
\nbling around your neck. That medal might even get you some free
\ndrinks, but don't bet on it.\n<\/p>\n
\nevent takes place on the rolling hills of San Francisco with amazing
\nviews of the Bay and the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. It starts at Union
\nSquare and finishes at the Great Highway along San Francisco's Ocean
\nBeach, hugging the coastline most of the way. At the end of the race,
\nfinisher's receive a specially designed Tiffany & Co. necklace …
\nthe ultimate in runner's bling. \n<\/p>\n
\n"the most fun race in the World." It's name comes from the agricultural
\nand livestock history of Cincinnati, which at one time was known as
\n"Porkopolis." The theme is celebrated throughout with support signs
\nsuch as squeal, hightail it, and crossing the finish swine. Many
\nparticipants even dress in oinker costumes. If you are the type that
\nalways said you'd run a race when pigs fly, then this is the one for
\nyou.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
